The mapping system works a bit differently now, so a demo seemed in order.

You don't need to do this for InterLink controllers, or when using the WS1000 dongle with a Spektrum radio. This procedure applies to other controllers that show up as Windows game devices but don't have a built-in profile in RealFlight.

Thanks for the video. I have a friend who got RF8 yesterday and has been struggling getting his radio set up. It won't be a factor for long though as I talked him into buying an Interlink which he will have in a few days.

Thank you for this. I have one question: What if one transmitter-control controls two different channels (say Channel ‘A’ and ‘B’)? How can you tell the program that you are assigning one function-channel to input-channel A and another function-channel to input-channel B, when you are doing the same move on the transmitter? This will be the case for helicopters, as the left stick up/down controls both throttle and pitch. I'm struggling hard times right now to set up my JR XG8 transmitter for helicopter-flight. The program is mapped wrong and I have to re-map. When I move the left stick up/down it only recognize the channel for pitch, and never the channel for throttle. I’m not able to assign any channel to throttle. Very frustrating.
